2. Figure 1
HLA-G 5′-upstream regulatory region (modified from Solier et al. 2001). “+1” designates the transcriptional start site. Cis-acting regulatory elements are shown: TATA = TATA box; CCAAT = CAAT box; S/X1= Pan HLA regulatory elements; ISRE = interferon-specific regulatory element; EnhA = enhancer A; HSE = heat shock protein element; GAS = gamma (interferon) activated site; LCR = locus control region (also known as “TSRE” [tissue-specific regulatory element]). The LCR (or TSRE) contains the regulatory elements that direct trophoblast-specific expression (Schmidt and Orr 1995).

3. Figure 2
Haplotypes comprised of 18 polymorphisms in the 5′-upstream regulatory region, in exons 1 and 8, and their associated HLA-G allele. Frequencies of haplotypes in the Hutterites are shown. Alleles shown as black letters on a white background correspond to the chimp sequence and are presumed to be ancestral; alleles shown as white letters on a black background are presumed to be derived alleles. Alleles at two polymorphic sites in exon 1 are shown for comparison with earlier studies (Hviid et al. 1999).
